The final days of the holiday season bring us back together for the last two mornings of Yom Tov services. Join us for the traditional finale to B’nai Emunah’s holiday celebrations as members and friends gather following services for the annual Simchat Torah Luncheon. The meal is complimentary; however, reservations are appreciated. Weather permitting, we will eat for the last time in the sukkah. We thank the Zarrow Families for underwriting this final luncheon of the holiday season.

Explore the fascinating world of art in a lively five-part series led by curator, educator, and writer, Dr. Kate Green. Through engaging, image-driven presentations and conversation, we’ll examine key moments in art history and discover what they reveal about creativity, culture, and society, both then and now. Expect works of art that inspire, surprise, challenge, and occasionally leave you scratching your head. Bring your curiosity and come ready to learn, sip, and nosh over wine and cheese. Sessions meet every other Tuesday from September 22 through November 17. For more information about ticket pricing, please contact the Synagogue at (918) 583-7121, or email Richie Bolusky.

Embark Tulsa, organized by Mem Global, is all about exploring Jewish life in interfaith relationships, without the pressure to convert. Connect with other couples in their 20s and 30s, under the direction of Rabbi Kaiman, as you learn, share, and grow together in a supportive space. Whether you’re curious about tradition or building your own, discover a Jewish life that’s uniquely yours. Embark cohorts consist of 6-10 couples that meet weekly for 6 cohort sessions, a retreat, and a Shabbat dinner.

As Hanukkah approaches, and the days are getting colder and darker, it is the perfect time to gather and explore how we meet darkness and light in our lives.

What is our special light? What happens when we find ourselves in the dark?
Where do we find light, and what kind of light do we need?

In this five-session Beit Midrash, we will explore these questions through five different Jewish stories and teachings, mostly from the Talmud and Jewish mystical tradition.

In each session we will read the text, ask questions, and try to understand what the sages are saying. But this is not only a text-study group. The stories are also invitations to talk together about our own lives, our communities, our fears, our hopes, and the different kinds of light we carry. We will experience different practices like meditation, Nigguns (soulful melodies), intuitive writing, creative expression, and more.

The Swedish Connection is an inspiring historical drama based on the true story of Gösta Engzell, a Swedish diplomat whose courage and determination helped save thousands of Jewish lives during World War II. By using diplomacy and ingenuity to outmaneuver Nazi bureaucracy, Engzell proved that one person's moral conviction can make an extraordinary difference, even in history's darkest moments. This film is available for viewing on Netflix. Join us for our conversation at 7:00 p.m. on Zoom (918 583 7121).

Elazar Eckstein Shirley, son of Jacob Shirley and Rabyne Eckstein, grandson of the late Lynn and Ray Shirley, will be called to the Torah as a Bar Mitzvah on Saturday, October 31, 2026, which will be the 20th of Cheshvan, 5787.

Elazar is in seventh grade at Edison Magnet School, and is a graduate of Mizel Jewish Community Day School. He started his education at B'nai Emunah Preschool, and is now finding his place as a leader, enjoying his first summer as a Counselor in Training at Camp Shalom, and a Madrich at Shul School.

Elazar is learning to play trombone, and loves to play Minecraft. When he's not forging a new pick-axe, he forges ahead with absorbing new knowledge of our world. He's full of curiosity, and always excited to share all that he's learned. He's been enthusiastically studying with Morah Sonia Hocherman.

Elazar became a big brother exactly 18 months after he became a real, breathing boy. He's guided Yitzhak through many experiences and adventures, most of them good. Come, share in this adventure with us! We'll start at 9:30 at Congregation B'nai Emunah, with lunch to follow.

Sponsored by the Council for Holocaust Education, the program will commemorate the 1938 Night of Broken Glass when Nazi Germany, through terror and destruction, declared war against German and Austrian Jews. Address Unknown, a historical novel of letters, published in 1938 by Kathrine Pressman Taylor, will be performed as a staged reading by Tulsa actors Tom Berenson and Kurt Harris.

Tom Berenson and Kurt Harris play Max and Martin, two friends and business partners, one living in San Francisco and the other in Munich, Germany. The rise of Nazism challenges their friendship, as they correspond during 1932-1934.  Address Unknown closes with a devastating and unforgettable ending.

Other sponsors include Tulsa City/County Library, Congregation B’nai Emunah, Temple Israel, Circle Cinema, Jewish Federation of Tulsa, and Sherwin Miller Museum of Jewish Art.

The program is open to the public, and there is no charge for attending. Registration is required. Please indicate your attendance using the link below.
